Background:
Nursing infants of diabetic mothers require special care.
Aim:
To verify whether the metabolic alteration during pregnancy is able to alter the cochlear function and the efferent olivocochlear system.
Method:
Transient otoacoustic emissions of 30 children of diabetic mothers were analyzed, comparing the results to a control group, according to the occurrence and amplitude of the responses.
Result:
The children of diabetic mothers presented contractile activity of the outer hair cells with a lower response amplitude.
Conclusion:
The results did not show a statistically significant difference. Further studies with larger samples are necessary.
